I have the same thing happening with several mods that use the self-extracting exes. Usually it renames just the setup-*.exe though...and it's just a matter of renaming it back to whatever the rest of the files use and it works just fine *shrugs*

I just downloaded v24 but when it goes to install it goes through the whole auto update procedure but then renames the files to something like SETUP~19.exe SETUP~19.tp2 etc... I didn't bother to install it when I saw that.

Instead, I tried installing it to a false directory to see what happens and again it renamed the files again to SETUP~1.exe SETUP~1.tp2 SETUP-~1.DEBUG but crapped out because it couldn't find the .tlk file but still changed the file names whether it's installed to the BG2 directory or not.

I'm not sure if this is useful information, but I've had this problem too. It's not just with AoEv24 though, for me anyway, it has also happened with Kivanv4 and G3Tweaksv11.

I was just gonna install the extra items and the Pit Fighter kit but I didn't know if it was supposed to do that or not so I passed on the installation.

That's just WeiDU, actually. It can use a slash or backslash interchangeably.

What you need to make sure is that the path is typed exactly as it appears on your monitor. UPPER and lower-case matters. You also need to run each game once (just start it, then hit the quit button when it pops up), so that it populates the baldur.ini file for info Tutu needs to run the conversion properly.
